Nero

Overview
Nero is a 19 year old male who lives in Simi Valley, CA. He is the leader of Nightc/o/re North (NCN) and is well suited for touge driving due to his manlet status (5'2").

Piuma
During the second NCN meet, the group found themselves going down Piuma Road for the second time that night. Assured that the other members of the group knew where they were going, Nero took off down the road, quickly getting out of sight of Ray and Pablo, who were behind him in Ray's Focus. Upon reaching the end of the road, they found that Nero had gotten out of his car and was sitting on his trunk with hazards on at the stoplight.

Trunk
Nero once locked himself inside his trunk with the keys in his pocket and the car doors locked. While he had closed himself in his trunk before as a joke without incident, one night at the In-N-Out premeet he pulled the trunk release and it came off instead of releasing him. Pablo informed Nero that the trunk release on the Crown Victoria had been subject to a recall, but Nero was already inside the trunk when this occurred. AAA was called to unlock the door to Nero's car, and once this was done, Pablo was able to open the trunk and release him. Nero was comfortable inside the trunk for the approximate half hour he was inside it due to being short.

Tow Truck
On August 24, 2017, Nero was driving his 328i down the front side of Glendora Mountain Road (GMR) when he came upon a large light colored rat crossing the road. Initially thinking it was some black dude with fresh Jordan's on, Nero drove off of the road into a dirt area, which minorly damaged the right side skirt of the vehicle. The vehicle was still fully operational, but stuck. He hitched a ride to the top of GMR, where he called AAA for help. Approximately 45 minutes later, the tow truck arrived along with a California Highway Patrol Unit. The officer proceeded to ask Nero several questions while the tow truck driver set up the tow. No one had been watching the tow truck driver, and only upon hearing a loud snap did anyone realize what he had done. The driver had left the car in park, attached the tow cables to the suspension struts, and drove the truck forwards instead of using the winch. This led to the struts being ripped out of the shock towers, effectively destroying the vehicle. When the vehicle was later pulled onto the flatbed, the front right corner of the vehicle was pulled into the corner of the bed, which wasn't fully lowered, which led to additional damage to the 328i. Nero was forced to ride with the tow truck driver back to Simi Valley, and on the way down GMR, the tow truck driver went into a corner too fast, understeered onto the wrong side of the road, and nearly went off a cliff. The tow truck driver was later terminated.
